REUBEN'S FIRST VOYAGE.
, j BV MA1U.TON DOWNING.
Come six leagues Inland from (he
shores of (be broad Atlantic there lived
Si. a farmer who had three sona. I
Wifll hit /ililfLt nml pmtnmitt phllrlrrn
wc have nothing to do, for they were 1
willing, sturdy youths, whoobiyed their ;
kind parents' every mandate, hut it is
upon Reuben, the second born, that the
interest of this story centre-.
He hated the work about the farm, In
fact, detested labor of any kind; he was I
wilful and disobedient, and was a sore t
trial to the entire household.
If the lad was sent- to drive the cows 1
to pasture, he would leave them to wander
away by themselves, uncared-for,
while he went to chase butterflies, or 1
rir tkUmtilK* of tUtt I Tool* . TO*\ 1
in hand,trying to catch the spotted trout
which darted hither and thither in the
babbling stream.
Very fond of reading was the hoy, hut
he cared nothing for books that were instructive,
he rather chose those containing
talcs of adventure, which, it must
be said, he devoured ravenously, until 1
ho began to long to become a florro hue- <
cancer, or nn Indian stayer of the plains. 1
One t'ny his father railed Reuben to 1
bis side, and eni'l:
"My son, I wish you would take the 1
brown mare and put those two sacks of 1
corn,that arc in tin* burn upon her hick,
nnd drive to Neighbor flriswold, the (
miller. If you do not tnrry on the road, I
you ran easily gel there and bark before 1
milking time." '
This did not at all plenso tho youth,
for he wanted to get away by himself and |
play; however, he dnrcd not ojienly dis- i
obey his father, so he reluctantly started r
for the mill with the mare and the two i
sncks of corn. Hut t\rst lie stole up into I
the little attic chamber which was oer.o
pied by hinr-clf and two brothers, and
taking a pillow-case from the bed, he
thrust into it a few articles of clothing,
and then hastened down again without
being observed by any member of this
busy household.
"I shall leave the old farm," he said, I
"and no one in this village shall know 1
where I have gone until I return a rich I
man." I
The lad drove the mare straight to the
mill, and tying her to a tree before r
Neighbor (Iriswold's door, he told the I
miller that his fnthei would come for her n
soon. I
Then the boy hurried along the conn- r
try rond toward the nearest sea-port. |
Several miles he traveled, until at
length feeling tired, he turned nside nnd s
lay down beneath the spreading branches ^
of a chestnut tree, and placing his bun- j,
not know, but suddenly lie was awak- I

cu?.\i uj iwnuj^ awuiv ?>uu nuunn III?* illm
Hud hcuring :i voice in his car Baying:
"What, my son! sleeping ?w?y iho
best hours of the day? If you are on n
journey the time to travel is between sun
up unci sun lown."
As Ifeuben opened his eyes he saw
bending over him a large man with a
pleasant face, although bronzed and
weather-beaten tv exposure to the elements.
At the tir.-t glanee the luti saw
by the strangei's clothing that he was n
sailor.
Now the boy had never met a real
mariner in his life, but he had seen many
pictures of them and lie was right, in his
conjecture.
' Who are you?" asked the young ad
venturer, arousing himself and sitting
"!?
"I'm a jolly tar, my lad, and bound
away on a long cruise , but who might
you be?"
"Jf matters not what I am," replied
the boy, "but I will tell you what I am
going to be, and that is a sailor."
"Say you so, my hcnity? Then you've
fallen in with just the right kind of a
craft to eiuise with. (.Jon.c with me,
and I'll soon have you stowed away in ns
tine a ship as ever spread canvass."
lleuben was delighted at his good for
tune in so quickly finding mi opportunity
to carry out his thus far ill matured
plans, ami springing to his fci*{ he swung
his bundle over his shoulder and said
"I am ready. Let us go, f?t ' ?n' I

"Avast there, shipmate, avast," exclaimed
the sailor. "Never start on a i
cruise without tirst taking a good de- |
pnrtute." So he seated himself on a log, ,
and pindueiiig some food out of a lain (
die, which he also carried, he gave some |
to the hoy, and the balnn?e he ate him- ,
lam ?nc no sen tnnittHwn,n) ot the
ship Fiery Dragon," said the man, between
motithfuls. "She is hound away
to China. Yuu shall go in her."
Keuhen thanked his companion, and ,
when they finished their repast they ,
continued their journey along tho
road. ,
The distance to the sea-port seemed
to he very short, for the boatswain en- '
tertained the boy with strange tales ot '
the sea and his adventures in foreign "
lands, which turned the lad's head, and "
before he realized it he found himseit r
upon a long wharf, beside a large ship, I
that was all ready to sail. 0
' Here we are, my merry master," ex '
eiaitned the boatswain, slapping Ifouben
on the shoulder, with a force which the j]
boy thought wholly uncalled for. '
"Here we are, I say, my jolly young
tar, jump aboard, lively ! Don't you see ^
the lilies are about to he cast off' One ?
"hvv work Kiiii'tlu ? I..... I ? h
sci. And with this the manner grasped *1 r
the lad 1?y the arm and hurried him up "
tin* gang plank, hut the grip of the
sailor was so firm that it brought tears '
to Reuben's eves which, however, A
the farmer's son was careful to conceal. A
Wlun they reached the deck, the n
boatswain left Reuben standing by himself,
with his bundle still over his shonl f)
der. while he walked aft to speak to $
the captain, who was on the <|iiartcr j,|
deck. Then the boy heard the latter
sav: a|
"Ay, ay, bo'sen, right you are. Make A
a sailor of him, for good. American ?eamen
are altogether to scarce!" ne
Reuben felt pleased at this, and al
#
'My nam* i? Sea-nick," whs the reply,
"and I have hoeu sent to wrestle with '
rou." "
' Oh, go away, please," groaned
Hcubeo. "Your presence makes me
feel had."
"Nevertheless, you must have n '
friendly bout with me," answered the *
itrunge, ungainly appearing creature, a?
lie rrrospe I the vouth about the waist. *
ind, assisted by a heavy lurch of tho
vessel, rolled him on to the deck.
"Hullo! How now?" called tho
boatswain, as he saw hia protege lying in
tho loo scuppers. "Up, up, iny son. f
you can never be a sailor until you sue- 7
red in throwing this chap overboard.
Hut, hold on, I'll send one of your whip- 7
mates to lend y hi a hand, for I think it '
is high turn that joii became acquainted '
with him."
The boy was feeling so utterly mis- n
rrablc in the firm grasp of his relentless
sntagonist, that he could scarcely open
liis ej'es to see who it was that was goi ng
o assist him in ovcieoining his enemy.
All in once, with a whaek, another
member of the ship's eompany landed
upon his shoulders. "
"What, what'" gasped the la I as ho "
felt the pain, "'his is no way to help a
poor fellow. Hut may be you mistake
illv hack for that of this villain Hea?'
"Not a bit of it, iny lad," was tho re- Rr
ill-, in a sharp, squeaky voice. "My |)(
mine is Hopes end, and most always I
mi obliged to help young chaps like you . j
n mastering our disagreeable companion
lerc." 'I his t ime Hopes end, who was
very supple ol It i'ly, wound liimselt
about Heuhen'a limbs, and, wherever ho
touched the n ivice, it cause I great welts q
to rise upon liis tender llesli, jiroducing .j,
extreme agony. J n
The fnraier'a roii, however, was not j ,r
wholly (Ic'Htitnt<r of courage, ?in?l, strongy
resenting the ii?sistnae; of Kopcs-enu, ,p
le staggered to his feet, and, grasping ln
iin first persecutor in a strong clutch, ho .(.
ntgan slowly toovcrpower him. .|,
"I inn completed! I am compiercd!" |
'tilled Sea sick. "Now throw me overman!
anil 1 shall nevoi trouhlo you
ignin. l-'ear not of committing murder, ,
01 I shall ho all right soon, and bo

30
Thus encouraged and feeling his aii
treugfh gradually returning, as the ivn
;rasp of his foe weakened, Itoilhen lifted
lis persecutor to th" rail of the vessel iir!
Ashe did'so, Hope's'ehfTngntn'emWrlWBa *B
liis limbs and he heard the grulT voice of ?j
tlie boatswain exclaim
"Weil done, my jolly mariner, well fc
done. We'll soon make a sai'or of you." in
"Oh, I wish I were home again," a]
groaned Iteuben.
"Tut, tut," rejoined the weatherheaten w
son of Neptune. "The voyage is scarce* iii
ly begun yet. You've only met two of ?>
the crew. Come forward, and I'll in -h
troduce you to some of the res! of your roi
shipniat *s." ,vi
Iteuben staggeiod after th-' burly boat- m
swain, but at nearly every step thefrisky
little Itope's end renewe I liis antic*.
'I wish you'd send that fellow away,"
said the boy. "lie hurts me." r f
"Oil, you'll soon get used to him, for ,j
he is one of those chaps that, as they say
on board a vessel, "is in everybody's
mess and nobody's watch!" " 1:
,lu>t then the man stopped and opened ,p
the door of a large closet, or as he called .,j
if, locker.
"Come out here, Slush bucket I want th
you," and ob?ying the order a curious ra
little chap tiresente ! himself. t?i
liis body much resembled a paint-keg
while h< iottered insecurely ab >ut on his wi
liinillinir mill stteiiioitc, I In k I
"line you hit, embrace your now
shipmate," ?r*i?i tho boatswain. ha
Thus I?i<I Ifii, Klu<h bucket sprang up, uf
wound his wiry arms about t bo boy'si ill1
nock and pressed bis greasy side closely til
to the youth's jaokot.
"(Mi, what a vile smell," thought Hen- otr
f,.i a inouiont lit* imagined ho
dotootod tho faro of Soil sick leering at as
liiin ovrr tho 1??11\\arks.
"Now, thou, my son, you and S!u?h- mi
bucket, hero, will ho daily companions wi
for sonic time, and you will have to make
many tiips aloft with him, so you'd hot- oh
tor start at mice. I * tit your hand into wl

on tho forward portion." lui
"No, soo that you do not," spoko up s\t
Hope's end, "for if you b ivo any greaso
there 1 shall have to embrace you again fa
ivhen you come down on deck." to
Then as though to luiiry the be- co
snhlered lad uiioii his mission, the even w?

eadv assistant of the boatswain tapped
urn none too gently "" sboulderi,

"Well done again, ' said the boatswain, I
iprovingly. ' Haven't we a jolly crew? HI)fj

"Oh, please sir, ' said Ketiben, "let erjc

"Tired! What? And vou want to be
?
tailor? No, Indeed, that would aaver
j. Sailors hart no right to b? tired,
ome aft here, you must learn how to

The boy dragged his tired liuibs toaid
the stern of the ship, where he eaw t
man turning a wheel beck and forth, ^
i what seemed to him, a most aimless ^
>rt of manner. / ^
The helmsman pointed Into the bin- (

"Tt

"Ob, I can never do that," faltered
leuben.
"Yes, Indeed you can," squeaked
lope's-end, who aeerned to be ever at
he boy's side, "and that too before you
;o to bed."
Now this w as a difficult task for ths ,
outh, and he was obliged to request bis
hipmatc at the wheel to repeat them to
lira over and over again.
Hut the man spoke so rapidly that had <
le been talking Choctaw, his words ,
rould have been fully as intelligible to j

Ax the sun began to sink to rest in its ,
ratery cradle. Reuben's thoughts for th? .
iinilreth time in that long, long day tlew .
line ward. .
In his mind's eye he could sco his two (
rother's driving the lowing cattle up |
nm the pastures for the milking. Ilia (
mth'T, tie knew, was trimly ??\lk K?i I

rhilc his father, he fancied, was taking
is way to Neighbor Oriswold'a the mil r.
in search of his disobedient Ron. and
lie brown man*, with the two sucks of
leal.
Tears filled his eyes, and chased each '
(her rapidly down over his pallid cheeks. i
he boatswain, who happened along just 1
t that moment, for .a wonder seemed a ?
ttle touched at the evident distress of ?
ip lad, and as he really did not iiavo a j
ml heart, lie refrained from calling into (
position his invariable companion, \
ope's end. (
lie told Ifeuben that he might go to ?
ir galley and get something to eat, and t
len seek liis bunk for a few hours. ,
The youth was glad of this permission, <
id hastened in search of his supper, r
it, oil! what a meal. There was none ^
the sweet golden butter, light warin
scuit, and l?its of cake that usually A
need the table of the farmhouse. c
Instead, he received a piece of fat salt j
nrk and two crackers, ro hard, that ,
lough Ilia teeth were sharp and strong, |
ley failed to make any impression upon j
ie:u, and our little run away" crawled ,
to his narrow blink, tiled, homesick f

"Ah, if I wpii' only home," he \\otil<i
oan, but not loud enough to he heard -j
any one who might hi- near. :
Suddenly there was a great rensnltoti n
fleck, then followed a loud, crashing ^
ire, and Reuben telt something strike
in as though a hen n had fallen and tho ^
iter rushed in upon lus face.
With a shriek, for he thought tho

Then he realized that a terrific storm

was a heavy hurst of thunder,
hile the waters of the ocean, which had
ished into bis face, proved to bo
night but the large rain drops, which

Bewildered and dazed, the hoy looked

Breakfast is rather a failure as a meal
with town men. That ought not to be.
There is something wrong when a man is
not vigorously hungry in the morning.
Where is the fault? It is in tho late
linners? Not in tho dinner, probably,
is much as in what is drunk at dinner;
n that \nd in the nervoui strain of tho
imes. It does not matter whether
,ve dine in the middle of the day
>r in the evouing, so long as we
line judiciously. But the man who has
nuch work to do, and particularly brainvork,
cannot dine in the middle of the
lay. If ho does, he must make up his
nind to lose at least an hour of his most
faluablc time.
A light luncheon at midday, with no
tiinulant stronger than a cup of coffee
?r a bottle of ginger ale, is the suitable
hing. But thMUayvtf "" sepniiwt be

lunches in this way at midday must dine
in the evening, and dine well. The business
man should dine at 8 :.'!0 o'clock, or

nay dino when he likes. The man who
ins earned liix <1 inner should hnm a trnnil

laborate, but well selected and well
ooked.
Dinner should bo the last meal of the
